Cody mentions the greatest of all time, John Cena and that gets a “Cena” chant.

When it comes to Priest and Braun, he is about to dog walk their asses. And when he is done with them, he will earn his way into the Chamber and after that, he is going to WrestleMania.

Drew tells Fatu that he thinks people want to see a psychopath and a werewolf throw down tonight but it won’t happen because he has his spot in the Chamber tonight. Drew tells Cody that he thinks Fatu wants to talk to him and Drew leaves the ring.
Fatu circles Cody and looks at the Championship. Cody tells him if Fatu qualifies for the Chamber and wins it, they can fight over it.
